We have about ten days remaining to keep chipping away at the deadwood left to rot in the Bomb Squad™, and among the bigger logs in there (figuratively speaking of course) is Axel Disasi, who, like Renato Veiga, has not re-entered the thinking at Chelsea despite all our injuries at the position that he plays.
And that’s fine at the end of the day I suppose — we’ve got the numbers to cover, and I love seeing Josh Acheampong get minutes — though some of the difficulties in clearing these unwanted wages off our books should hopefully serve as constant reminders that our squad-building decisions are not without consequences (financial or otherwise).
In any case, multiple reports yesterday have claimed that AFC Bournemouth, who seem to be becoming one of our most frequent trade-partners, are in talks with both Chelsea and the player himself over a possible loan (with an option to buy). Disasi was linked with Villarreal earlier, but they have opted for Veiga instead.
The one nice thing about a loan within England is that it wouldn’t count against our international loan limits.
